Brown Bear

Eye on the Wild

by Suzi Eszterhas (Photographer)

Two baby brown bears are born in the mountains of Alaska. Follow them from birth to adulthood, photographed close-up in the wild by award-winning photographer Suzi Eszterhas. The text shows all the aspects of the animal's life in the wild. Watch them exploring with their mum, chasing and climbing, and then learning to catch fish and hunt for delicious clams. At last they are three years old and ready for their biggest adventure — starting families of their own. A spread at the back of the book gives further conservation information, including useful websites. Also available in the Eye on the Wild series are Cheetah, Gorilla and Lion , all by Suzi Eszterhas.

This focuses on a pair of brown bears from just after birth until their third year. The author is a wildlife photographer who specializes in endangered animals and newborn animals. The simple but engaging text is printed in a large font with a spacious layout that includes large photographs.

Simple enough text for kindergarten and first grade. Fabulous photographs with very close up shots will appeal to the children.
